Connecticut Yankee

Why?You'll hear it here first.

Connecticut Yankee is a Boston-themed baseball bar that is regularly taken over by softball teams who play at the nearby park. They have great meaty dishes that eschew the artisanal daintiness that even dive bars have been guilty of in these parts. Best of all, the very small stage, filled with tables when a baseball game is on, hosts many up-and-coming bands most nights of the week thanks to the musical acumen and goodwill of owner Fritz Frisbie. If you're the type who prides himself on finding the next big thing before they're big enough to even have a demo, then this is the place for you.
